Slow light in nonlinear photonic crystals: less haste, more speed

通信的发展对澳大利亚的未来至关重要。我们的项目将能够大规模改善通信技术的性能，并显着降低相关基础设施的成本和规模。由此带来的好处将有助于发展澳大利亚农村和地区的经济和生活方式。在全国范围内扩大更快的网络将最终实现先进的技术和服务，如远程手术，远程工程和远程教育。我们将为三名学生提供高级培训，他们将获得这一领域的宝贵技能，这些技能将受到澳大利亚信息和通信技术行业的追捧。

The development of communications is vital to Australia's future. Our project will enable both massive improvements of the performance of the communication technologies and significant reductions in the cost and size of the associated infrastructures. The resulting benefits will contribute to developing the economy and lifestyle of rural and regional Australia. The expansion of a faster network throughout the country will eventually enable advanced techniques and services such as remote surgery, remote engineering and distance education. We will provide advanced training for three students who will gain valuable skills in this area that will be sought after by the Australian information and communication technology industry.
